I have nowhere else to vent about this so sorry y’all.
So last night I get a message from a girl I’ve been friends with since high school. About 30 years ago I was married to a deadbeat who couldn’t or wouldn’t keep a job. We needed money for food and to keep a roof over our heads. We borrowed a hundred bucks from her. After the divorce a few months later I offered to settle up with her. She said “you don’t owe me a thing”. I got busy with life and totally forgot about the entire thing.
Last night she sent me a message stating that my not paying her back has caused resentment in her heart and that to clear her heart and mind she wants the money. Which is fine. It’s not about the money really. She doesn’t need it and I can pay her but man. That’s kind of a weird flex. And now I can’t help but feel a little I don’t know, angry? Confused? Weird? About the whole thing. Like how you gonna bring this up 30 years later? After telling me it was all forgiven? Look I owe it and I’ll pay it but now this act to clear her soul is kinda wrecking mine. It’s stupid. I know. But damn.
